^*High physical function is defined as activities of daily living (ADL) score<17, low physical function is defined as ADL score≥17; high cognitive function is defined as cognitive performance score (CPS)<3, and low cognitive function is defined as CPS≥3.

^**Multivariable logistic regression in each stratum adjusted for patient, facility, county characteristics (see Table 1), as well as state dummies.

OR=odds ratio.
